New Look
Brilliant Leathers Shown
For Spring, Summer Shoes
New York-Brillian leathers
set off fireworks in shoe fash
ions this week as Leather In
dustries of America unveiled
the nation's most extensive
collection of footwear for
spring and summer. ;
Virtually every major shoe
manufacturer in the country
was represented in the show
ing of a varied collection of
shoes for men, women and
children.
Overall theme for the show
was "Brilliant Leathers-Fireworks
of Fashion." Highlight
ed were the new leather col
ors which will be seen in
women's shoes for daytime,
evening and casual wear.
Most popular colors for the
coming season ' include five
families: the hot pinks; bril
liant reds; the bright, bright
blues; salad green and Irish
green going into avocado;
deep, hot orange and sea coral.
There carefree colors give
spring shoes a look of clean
cut simplicity in calf leathers,
kids, silky suedes, side (cow
hide) leathers, patent leathers,
and brushed and reptile leath
ers. In silhouette, women's shoes
continue to have the very
pointed toe or the flattened,
gently squared toe-the latter
featured mainly in shoes for
daytime and dress wear. The
laced square toe is a popular
treatment for tailored and
leisure shoes.
For both women and teen
age girls, two tone combina
tions in both brilliant leather
color and leather texture are
prominent in shoe styles for
around-the-clock wear. This
type of styling is seen in leath
er overlays at the toe in spec
tator fashion; in color inserts
at the heel or vamp; in con
trasting color bands at the
shoe collar and in various
leather texture or color com
binations in straps.
Heels catch a lot of atten
tion in interesting new shapes,
ranging from the flat squash
heel, through . the shaped
stacked leather heel, the deep
ly curved Louis heel, to the
high, thin stiletto heel.
Slimness in children's shoes
is the keynote to new fashion,
along with lighter construc
tion" and greater flexibility
made possible by the lighter,'
more supple leathers. And
youngsters' shoes have a fash
ion flair all their own.
Although children's shoes
are much slimmer than in past
seasons, they have been kept
in line with the natural con
tours of young feet to assure
comfort and good fit Parents
will welcome good news re
garding better wear. New de
velopments in sole leather
have resulted in a new resin
impregnated leather sole that
offers 100 per cent more
wear with no stretch or curl
-yet retains leather's charac
teristic "breathing" ability.
Color is highlighted in little
girls' leather shoes, for both
school and dress weai. Little
shell pumps and strap styles
are most popular.
OSC Pamphlet
Gives Guide For
Weight Control.
-. Corvallis A permanent
change in food patterns is the
key to life-time weight con
trol, according to a new bul
lein from Oregon State col
lege.
More than a fourth of the
adults in the- U.S. are dan
gerously overweight, mostly
from overeating, says . Mrs.
Ruth Klippstein, extension
nutritionist and author.
; Best way to control weight
. is to establish new eating
, habits that include low cal
orie recipes, she says. Includ
ed in the bulletin are recipes
for low calorie desserts, sal
ads, toppings, dressings, and
appetizers. They include sour
cream dressing made with
evaporated milk, whipped
butter, Pacific shrimp salad
and refrigerator cheesecake.
Any weight reduction pro
gram should be supervised
by a physician, Mrs. Klipp
stein points out. Copies of the
bulletin, "Sensible Weight
Control," may be secured
from any county extension of
fice or from the bulletin
clerk, OSC.

Described
New York-As the curtains
part on the spring fashion
panorama here, it is apparent
that the news from the men's
fashion world is for once more
dramatic than that which
stems from the distaff fash
ion market.
While womens' - clothes are
headed back to greater con
servatism away from any
"new look" and toward more
fitted waistlines and classic
styles-the men are making
news with a completely new
silhouette known as the "con
tinental." "
The new suit styling, with
its most elegant, custom look,
has affected all men's apparel
for spring, a market check
shows. Michael Daroff, one of
the country's largest manufac
turers of men's clothing, calls,
it the most important style
change in men's wear in 10
years and one which will
eventually affect all the fash
ions a man wears.
It is marked by a higher,
squarer shoulder line and a
shorter jacket with cut-away
front, peaked lapels and side
vents. The trousers are pleat
ed, tapered and cuff less. The
total effect of the new suit
style is to make a man look
taller,' shapelier and more ele
gant. . '
Suiting colors are still on
the dark side, but they aren't
plain. Unusual but conserva
tive patterns and interesting
color effects through patterns
give a new look of richness
to these fabrics. Many of them
are said to offer performance
miracles. Suits that look like
silk go through the washing
machine as easily as shirts.

Nothing Matches Monopoly
As Best-Seller in Games
Br PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Preci International
New York- (DPD -Ever since
Charles Darrow struck it rich
with his "Monopoly" game,
fertile minds have been try
ing to come up with some
thing better or at least as
good. -
But in 25 years there's
been nothing to match Mo
nopoly as a best-selling game,
according to Robert B. M.
Barton, president of the firm
Parker Brothers , that makes
it.
More, than 2,500 game ideas
streamed into the firm's of
fices last year. But half of
these were rejected on the
spot because they didn't in
clude a "working model,"
Barton said.
A few with working models
are being mulled over, but the
firm isn't talking about them
for business reasons. Rejects,
according to Barton, concern
ideas such as these:
-A new design for the
checker board. .
A game requiring players
to use nose as well as noodle.
It had "something to do with
telling one odor from an
other." -A game that required play
ers to use "live" bugs.
Should Be Entertaining
"To get serious attention,
a game should be entertain
ing, easy to learn, easy to play
and not educational," Barton
said.
Even the inventor of Mo
nopoly didn't make it to first
base the second time around.
Darrow, of Ottsville, Pa., call
ed his second game "bulls and
bears." It concerned doing on
Wall Street.
"It went well into produc
tion and sold just a little, but
soon it wasn't selling at all,"
Darrow said.
"I'm not the greedy type,
anyway, so I decided to call
it quits. Monopoly keeps us
comfortable. Besides no
amount of money could make
me feel richer than I felt the
day the mailman brought my
first royalty check from Mo
nopoly sales. It was for
$8,000."
Darrow, now 70, was an
unemployed heating sales en
gineer when he invented the
game "to take the family's
mind 'off the depression."
Neighbors asked him for
copies of the "entertaining
game." He made sets by hand
and soon got the notion that
he should try to sell to a
game company. He was turn
ed down. He said:
"I tried making the game
myself, but . by the end of
a year I had 20,000 orders
and it became apparent that
I would have to borrow money
and go into the game business
on a large scale-or sell out
to an established game com
pany. ;
By the time Darrow reach
ed this "bridge," he unex
pectedly was helped across by
the company that once turned
him down. Company officials
came to him. He sold. As he
put it:
"Taking the precepts of
Monopoly to heart, I didn't
care to speculate. The offer
was attractive, so I gladly ac
cepted and have never re
gretted the decision."
But , "millionaire" Darrow
could have been a multi-millionaire.
During the first 25 years,
20 million sets of Monopoly
have been sold, grossing bet
ter than $50 million. Last
year, sales hit a new high.
